It's funny because they didn't learn from the GTO and decided to create a G8.
What they should have done was drop the Pontiac brand (It's name is tarnished whether you like it or not) and follow Toyota's lead in creating a new brand.
Pontiac continues to fail by introducing cars such as the G5 (A rebranded Cobalt) and trying to keep the brand alive as if it had some monetary value.
It hasn't gotten through their stubborn skulls that rebranding cars without the addition of luxuries DOES NOT WORK.
They also need to drop Buick, GMC, and Saturn.

How was the GTO not a great vehicle? Yeah it was bland and yes it didn't sell well, but it doesn't mean the vehicle itself was bad. Same goes for the G8 which is on a newer platform then what the Monaro based GTO was on. Both the GTO and G8 performance wise are very capable vehicles.
